Gday eveyone, my name is Andrew or Drew.

As of last night i now own a R33 skyline GTS-T :( , so i have become a member on this forum. Just looking around you guys have some good info on this forum and as mines fairly stock, ill be hopeing to do some mods latter down the track.

The first mods will be fixing the stock EBC and the fuel pump. (Wont have to spend any money on these)

Ill be hopeing too join some car cruises to. So yeh if you see a White R33 around Vic Park its probably ME.

Cheers.

Ill get some pics up soon.

Hey Drew,

Welcome and hope to see you at some events soon.

Just as a heads up, if yours was made in Nov 1995 it'll actually be classed as a series 1.5!!! Between the series 1 and series 2 (late 1995) nissan decided to put some of the improved bits going into the series 2 into the last of the series 1's. So yours should have series 1 headlights, dash etc but will have a series 2 ecu, coilpacks. Doesn't sound like much but these things are different...ie series 1 coilpacks won't fit in your car etc :(

Black_CSR- I keep a look out for you.

I have actually herd about a series 1.5 but didnt really look into it. And havent relized that mine is one. What is the advantage of the series 2 ecu and coil packs??

Drew,

Don't know exact specifics but the series 2 ecu has a better tune etc. I believe the diff in coilpacks is that series 1's have an ignitor above each coil whereas the series 2 has a remote one.

All i do know is that when manufacturers make these kinda changes it is to improve the replaced part for whatever reason.

Ok thanks ant95GTR..

Hopefully I will be at the next Cruise.

Im already thinking about getting the exhaust done all the way through.. Currently has 3inch SS cat back. Are those group buy? dump and front pipes the best way togo?

    • Thanks to @V35_Paul there is an oem stereo available on gumtree, but the fascia is slightly different. It has a flip up screen as opposed to my pop up screen. Am I able to disconnect the radio/cd player from the fascia to use it on mine?    
    • Had to google what a quart is lol.. so rough as guts a litre. That's a bit excessive, also what oil weight are you running? The whole steam cleaning idea isn't too far fetched either. Maybe as you suggested, turn off the WMI (assuming your Kebabtech pulls timing, boost, etc.) and run it for a bit and see if there are any noticeable changes in spark plug colouring.
    • Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?
    • OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.
    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.
